w w ap eP m e tr .X w CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL EXAMINATIONS s er om .c GCE Ordinary Level MARK SCHEME for the May/June 2014 series 3015 FRENCH 3015/11 Paper 1 (Translation and Composition), maximum raw mark 60 This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and candidates, to indicate the requirements of the examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began, which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers. Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner Report for Teachers. Cambridge will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes. Cambridge is publishing the mark schemes for the May/June 2014 series for most IGCSE, GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level components and some Ordinary Level components. Page 2 Mark Scheme GCE O LEVEL – May/June 2014 Syllabus 3015 Paper 11 GENERAL Mark Allocation: 2 out of: Question 1 – Picture Composition Question 2 – Guided Composition Question 3 – Translation into French Total 30 marks 30 marks 30 marks 60 marks 1. Please do all marking in red. 2. If you change your mind about a mark, make sure the final decision is clearly shown. 3. All final question totals should be shown in the right-hand margin at the end of the question and should be ringed. Do not ring section totals or working totals. 4. The total mark for the paper should be written in the top right-hand corner of the first sheet and ringed. 5. Illegibility and ambiguity in writing should be penalised. In case of doubt, the examiner should use discretion and ring the word concerned. 6. Alternative versions offered by the candidate are to be accepted only if both versions are correct. Ignore anything in brackets. 7. Ignore the spelling of the names of persons and towns throughout the paper. Countries must be correct. 8. Ignore punctuation errors, including capital letters and hyphens. However, missing, or extra, apostrophes should be penalised by not crediting the word associated with the apostrophe. Il ma vu = 1 (given for the verb) 9. In spite of the above, penalise the omission of a question mark after a non-inverted interrogative. 10. Please be very careful with any arithmetic, particularly when counting ticks. Note that, in the Prose, the built-in cross-check of left and right-hand totals we have had in the past is no longer possible. Where appropriate, check your additions by adding section totals again in reverse order. 11. If the candidate exceeds the rubric and answers all three questions, all should be marked and the two highest marks counted. 12. Abbreviations used in the detailed Marking Scheme: NA – TC – RAE – D– Not Again (Do not penalise a second time) Tout Court (Without further addition) Reject Anything Else Discretion © Cambridge International Examinations 2014 Page 3 Mark Scheme GCE O LEVEL – May/June 2014 Syllabus 3015 Paper 11 General Instructions for Marking Questions 1 and 2 Marks: Communication: Language: Impression: Total: 5 marks 20 marks 5 marks 30 marks 1. Relevance The essay should, in the opinion of the examiner, be a genuine attempt to answer the question, whether from pictures or rubric. All relevant material should be accepted, even if the candidate has misinterpreted the story or parts of it. 2. Padding Any material which is clearly irrelevant or deliberately evasive of the subject should be included in the word-count but should be bracketed and ignored in the marking. The word PAD should be written in the left-hand margin. 3. Tenses Accept either PERFECT or PAST HISTORIC as the narrative tense, where this is appropriate. Ignore and accept inconsistencies. 4. Counting words The definition of a ‘word’ in the essay questions is any group of letters (including hyphens and apostrophes) between two spaces. Numbers written as figures count as one word. If written as words, follow normal rules. Proper nouns and names count as one word. 5. Titles Ignore any title supplied by the candidate for both word-counting and marking. In letters, ignore any address and date – start the word count at the prescription. 6. Short essays These present no problem. They gain fewer ticks. 7. Long essays The first 150 words ONLY will be assessed for BOTH language AND communication. Put // after the 150th word and ignore everything thereafter. HOWEVER, if the 150th word is part of a following marking unit and is a scoring word, allow it if the unit is correct – Avec // les enfants = 1 Ils // sont partis = 0 Ils sont // partis = 0 8. Marking units Marking units, which may consist of a single word or a group of words, will be ticked, in accordance with the detailed Language Mark Scheme, if all elements are correct. Please tick ABOVE the marking unit ensuring it is clear to what the tick relates. Please note that mistakes with accents and hyphens are not penalised. Please remember not to penalise punctuation errors, including use / misuse of capitals and splitting words (le super marché) and combining them (pendantque). The exception to this rule is the final –é on the past participle of an –er verb, or of être, which will lose the mark – il est alle = 0; il a éte = 0. Similarly, an unwanted – é on a Present Tense will lose the mark – il resté = 0. Please tolerate Il est allè and elle est alleé (native speakers are frequently vague in formation and placing of accents). The rule concerning accents will also apply to Qu. 3. © Cambridge International Examinations 2014 Page 4 9. Mark Scheme GCE O LEVEL – May/June 2014 Syllabus 3015 Paper 11 Plus and Minus symbols If an examiner feels that a candidate has been excessively rewarded (possibly by gaining ticks repeatedly for identical or nearly identical material) or that s / he has not received all the credit s / he deserves (outstanding vocabulary which only gets one tick or a very brave attempt that gets no tick at all), s / he should indicate this with a – or a + in the right-hand margin. 10. Immediate Repetition No credit is given for immediate repetition. “Mon Dieu! Mon Dieu!” = 1. Repeated use of particular structures or lexical items should be credited each time, but use minus symbol and bear in mind for Impression mark. 11. Repeated Errors Repeated vocabulary errors are not treated as consequential in questions 1 and 2. Examiners can compensate by using + symbols in the right-hand margins. 12. Scoring Language: Draw a line across the page after the first ten ticks and do not count these first ten in the total. An essay with 10 ticks or fewer will score 0. Count subsequent ticks up to a maximum of 60 and divide the total by 3 (round up or down to the nearest whole number – see separate scale on p. 12 for reference). This gives a maximum mark of 20. Impression: The 5 marks will often be awarded in direct proportion to the Language mark gained, but there is flexibility to move up or down, particularly to reflect the = and – symbols in the right-hand margin. Note that, as the ratio is 1:4, it will sometimes be necessary to make a decision as to whether the Impression mark should go up or down. For example, in the absence of other evidence, a mark of 12 would be awarded an Impression mark of 3; 13–3; 14–3 or 4; 15–4 and so on. Communication: Five marks are available. Set out the 3 separate marks at the bottom of the question, add together and ring the total. © Cambridge International Examinations 2014 Page 5 Mark Scheme GCE O LEVEL – May/June 2014 Syllabus 3015 Paper 11 Marking credit points 1 Verbs Subject (noun or pronoun) = finite verb correct. L’ amie est arrivée = 1; ils se sont arrêtés = 1. In compound tenses, failure to make the past participle agree will lose the mark, as will a wrong agreement. Elle est allé = 0 Elle s’est lavé = 0 Elle s’est lavée les mains = 0 La voiture que (1) j’ai acheté = 0. Please note that a mistake in the noun invalidates the unit. Ma amie est arrivée = 0 Cet femme a dit = 0 Negative: Totally correct. Ils n’ont pas vu = 2 Verb correct, mistake in negative. Ils n’ont vu pas = 1. Ils ne ont pas vu. = 1 If there is any mistake in the subject / verb unit, no mark is awarded for the negative. Ils n’ont pas voir = 0. Le fille ne parle pas = 0. Interrogative: Totally correct. As-tu vu? = 2; Tu as vu? = 2; Est-ce que tu as vu? = 2. Verb correct but no inversion (or no? after non-inversion in the interrogative). Tu as vu = 1 If there is any mistake in the subject / verb unit, no mark is awarded for the interrogative. A-t-il fais? = 0 Le fille, est-elle arrivée? = 0 Inversion: Totally correct. “Oui”, a-t-il dit = 2. Peut-être (1) viendra-t-il… = 2 Verb correct but no inversion. “Non”, il a répondu = 1 Verb is wrong. “Pierre!” a-t-il crier = 0 Interrogative negative: Totally correct. N’a-t-il pas vu? = 3; Il n’a pas vu? = 3; Est-ce qu’il n’a pas vu? = 3. Verb correct, mistake in either negative or interrogative: = 2 Ne a-t-il pas vu? = 2 Il n’a pas vu (When there should be inversion or ?) = 2 Verb correct, wrong negative and inversion = 1 Il n’a vu pas (When there should be inversion or ?) = 1 Verb is wrong. N’a-t-il pas voir? = 0. Imperative = 1. Viens! = 1; Dépêche-toi! = 1 Verb is wrong. Ne sort pas = 0 Participle (past or present) = 2; (En) quittant = 2; BUT Vu que = 1 Negative imperative = 2; (Etant) arrivés = 2; Ne sors pas = 2. Ayant quitté = 2 Misrelated Participles: En traversant la rue, la voiture le renversa. Credit the main clause, withhold mark from the participle – likely in most cases to be kinder to the Candidate. Infinitive Il a décidé Il est allé Il s’est mis Il s’est mit Il s’est mit =1… = 1… = 1… = 0… = 0… d’entrer regarder à chercher à chercher chercher =1 =1 =1 =1 =0 © Cambridge International Examinations 2014 Page 6 Mark Scheme GCE O LEVEL – May/June 2014 After preposition: sans hésiter = 1; Perfect Infinitive = 2 or 0. Syllabus 3015 Paper 11 avant d’entrer = 1. Après avoir parlé = 2 Après avoir parler = 0 Passive by normal rules: Il a été (1) arrêté = (1). Il a était (0) arrêté (1) Present Tense: Not acceptable as narrative tense. NOTES (a) ALL verbs score. J’ai = 1; Il n’a pas = 2; Il était = 1; (b) Il y a (either meaning) = 1; Il y avait = 1 Est-il = 2, etc. (c) Identical subject and verb correct score each time. (But minus in margin) (d) Reflexive pronoun is part of verb and does not count separately. (e) Plural verb with 2 subjects – accept if either subject correct. Le femme et l’homme ont regardé = 1. (f) Incorrect subject with 2 correct verbs – tick second verb. Le femme est sortie et a regardé =1. (g) Two Perfect tense verbs with second auxiliary omitted – accept for avoir, reject for être. – Il a frappé (1) et ouvert (1) la porte. Il est entré (1) et monté (0) en haut. © Cambridge International Examinations 2014 Page 7 2 Mark Scheme GCE O LEVEL – May/June 2014 Syllabus 3015 Paper 11 Nouns No reward for a noun preceded only by a definite or indefinite article or a cardinal number. A noun will score only as part of a unit. No consequential allowance for repeated wrong nouns. (a) Subject and verb (See 1 Verbs) l’auto est partie = 1 (b) Preposition and noun (unit correct) dans le lac = 1 en voiture = 1 (c) Demonstrative adjective and noun cet homme = 1 Possessive adjective (ALL) and noun mon ami = 1; sa soeur = 1 Interrogative adjective and noun quel homme? = 1 Partitive article (du, de la, des, de etc) de l’eau = 1 des gens = 1 With preceding adjective in plural de petits chats = 2 des petits chats = 1 de petites chats = 1 des petites chats = 0 Expression of quantity peu de temps = 1; beaucoup de gens = 1 (d) Idiomatic omission of article il était (1) fermier = 1 N.B. Identical combination scores each time as with verbs, subject to justification by sense and examiner’s ability to indicate disapproval by using minus symbols in the margin. © Cambridge International Examinations 2014 Page 8 3 Mark Scheme GCE O LEVEL – May/June 2014 Syllabus 3015 Paper 11 Pronouns All pronouns other than je tu il elle ce on nous (subject) vous (subject) ils elles and reflexives will score 1 mark each. Correct pronoun, position, order. (a) Conjunctive (me te le la etc.) Disjunctive (moi toi etc) y en. (But il y a = 1) N.B. Avec lui = 1 Chez moi = 1 Moi aussi = 1 (b) Demonstrative (celui etc.), celui qui = 2 celui de Jean = 2 (c) Possessive (le mien etc.) (d) Relative (qui, que, à qui, dont, lequel, ce qui, ce dont) Subordinate clauses introduced by qui – take the antecedent as the subject: La femme qui (1) parle (1) La femme que (0) parle (1) Le femme qui (1) parle (0) Le femme qui (1) est (0) content(e) (0) (No allowance for consequential errors) (e) Interrogative (Qui? Que? Qui est-ce qui? Etc.) Avec quoi? Lequel? NB Qui (1) parle (1)? Que (1) fais-tu? (2) Qui (1) est-ce qui parle (2)? (f) Indefinite (chacun, quelqu’un, quelque chose, tout, cela, ça, ceci ). Ça (1) m’est (2) égal (1). BUT do not reward in Ça va = 1 only NB Avec ça = 1 (g) Use of un / une: (l')un des garçons = 1 N.B.Reward pronouns each time. Wrong pronoun does not invalidate correct verb and subject. Il elle a donné = 1 Il a donné lui = 1 Il lui a donné = 2 J’ai vu = 1 Je l’ai vu = 2 If object fem. or pl., PDO agreement is needed for the mark to be awarded: (La maison). Je l (1) ’ai achetée…(1) (La maison). Je l(1) ’ai acheté...(0) La maison que (1) j’ai achetée…(1) La maison que (1) j’ai acheté…(0) (As in 1st section of p. 4 Verbs – Subject) If antecedent wrong, no mark for verb – Le maison que (1) j’ai acheté (0). Pronoun may score if verb doesn’t. Elle lui (1) a donnée = 0 Order. Elle le lui a donné = 3 Elle lui l’a donné = 2 © Cambridge International Examinations 2014 Page 9 4 Mark Scheme GCE O LEVEL – May/June 2014 Syllabus 3015 Paper 11 Adjectives Adjective and noun or pronoun form a marking unit. Whole unit must be correct with adjective in correct form and position. (a) un beau jour = 1 BUT Il beau = 0 le jour était beau = 2 Il a beau = 0 (b) une auto rouge = 1 le jour étais (0) beau = 1 une grande auto rouge = 2 (c) un jour de soleil = 1 une jour de soleil = 0 (+ in margin) (d) un coup de vent = 1 une jeune fille = 1 les vaccances d’été = 0 un sac à main = 1 (e) Incorrect adjective does not invalidate unit. Au lac = 1 (f) Adjective used as noun counts as noun. Les riches = 0 un agent de police =1 au beau lac = 2 au bel lac = 1 les jeunes = 0 N.B. Reward identical noun and adjective combination each time, subject to justification by sense and use of minus symbols. (g) Adjectives based on the past participle of an –er verb should not be credited if the final acute accent is missing. (h) Comparison: While plus TC will now score (See Adverbs, section 6), treat plus / moins / aussi que and le plus / moins…de as one unit. Il est (1) plus grand (1) que (1) C’est (1) le plus grand (1) des (1) NB Il a (1) le même (1) âge que (1) tel que = 1 5 moi (1) trois. moi (1). meilleur (1) que (1) moi (1) Prepositions As part of a unit, all of which must be correct. Identical unit will score each time, subject to usual conditions. (a) With verbs sans attendre = 1 avant de sortir = 1 (b) With nouns au lac = 1 dans la voiture = 1 à pied = 1 de Paris = 1 à Mme X = 1 (c) With pronouns avec lui = 1 entre nous = 1 (d) Prepositional phrase (at least 3 words) au milieu (1) de la rue (1), en train (1) de parler (1) à côté (1) de la rivière (1) (e) Voici and voilà voici un ami = 1 le voilà = 1 (f) Chez … chez moi / Jean = 1 de chez moi = 2 à côté de chez moi = 2 près de chez moi = 2 (g) No reward for the omission of prepositions after verbs such as “attendre”. © Cambridge International Examinations 2014 Page 10 6 Mark Scheme GCE O LEVEL – May/June 2014 Syllabus 3015 Paper 11 Adverbs Tick adverbs and adverbial phrases each time they appear, subject to the usual conditions. Include interrogative adverbs: Où? Quand? Comment? Pourquoi? Combien? Adverbial phrases: à toute vitesse = 1, tout de suite = 1 à tout à l’heure = 1 pourquoi (1) pas (1) même si = 1 pas / non loin (1) Please note treatment of plus (Section 4(g)). Treat si and tellement in the same way: Il était (1) si fort (1) que (1) ….. Do NOT tick: bien, très, oui, non. All other adverbs are credited. 7 Conjunctions Tick all conjunctions except et and mais. Tick the conjunctive que. Il a dit que = 2. But que il = 0. Reward conjunctions each time subject to usual conditions. Parce que: Reject at the beginning of a sentence when it should be puisque or comme. Comme si = 1 8 Comme ça = 1 Comme moi = 1 Expressions (time, weather, idioms, interjections, greetings, proverbs etc). Weather: Il fait beau (etc) = 2 (Verb + adverb) Il est beau = 1 Il fait (du) soleil = 2 (NB Treat faire peur à q.n. in the same way) Il fait nuit / sombre / jour = 2 Il fait du vent = 2 Expressions using avoir (except age): Il a faim = 2 Tu as raison = 2 Il a lieu = 2 Il a hâte = 2 As-tu envie..? = 3 Il est peur = 1. Do not credit if no verb is used; Il besoin = 0. Age – verb only to score (whole unit correct): J’ai 12 ans = 1 Elle a 12 = 0. Q Quel âge as-tu ? = 2 Time: Il est dix heures = 2 Il est dix heures et demie = 3 Il est 10h30 = 2 Il est dix heures et demi = 2 Il est 12 ans = 0 A / Avant (etc) dix heures = 1 © Cambridge International Examinations 2014 Page 11 9 Mark Scheme GCE O LEVEL – May/June 2014 Syllabus 3015 Paper 11 Miscellaneous merci de la lettre = 2 merci de ta lettre = 3 n’est-ce pas? = 1 peut-être = 1 peut-être (1) que (1) s’il vous / te plaît = 1 Eh bien = 1 Zut (alors) = 1 Pardon = 1 Bonjour = 1 comme d’habitude = 1 en même temps = 1 en ce moment = 1 pendant ce temps = 1 après quelques minutes = 2 pendant quelques minutes = 2 à ce moment (-là) = 1 depuis longtemps = 1 le matin = 1 le soir = 1 samedi = 1 le samedi = 1 c’était (1) (un) samedi (matin) Tautology: à mon avis (0) je pense (1) trop tard = 1 après quelques minutes (2) plus tard (0) moi aussi = 1 peu après = 1 For any phrases not covered here, apply tout près = 1 the following rule: de bonne humeur = 1 phrase up to 3 words = 1 en pleine forme = 1 phrase of 4 or more words = 2 un jour = 0 un samedi = 0 un beau jour = 1 un beau jour de printemps = 2 pendant les grandes vacances = 2 l’année dernière = 1 dimanche prochain = 1 au bout d’une heure = 2 une heure plus tard = 1 il y a une semaine = 1 depuis une semaine = 1 tout est bien qui finit bien = 2 numbers un deux trois etc = 0 premier etc = 1 c’est-à-dire = 1 à vrai dire = 1 je vous en prie = 2 aussitôt que possible = 2 à mon avis = 1 merci (beaucoup) = 1 plus tard = 1 plus tôt = 1 © Cambridge International Examinations 2014 d’un côté = 1 de l’autre côté = 2 à plusieurs reprises = 1 (à) demain (matin) = 1 le lendemain = 1 (à) ce soir = 1 D’accord = 1 Mon dieu = 1 Voilà = 1 Au revoir = 1 tout d’abord = 1 au même moment = 1 a leur surprise = 1 à leur grande surprise = 2 heureusement (1) que (1) (deux) d’entre eux = 1 à ce moment même = 2 ça va? = 2 Oui ça va = 1 ce matin = 1 ce samedi = 1 (un) samedi matin = 1 trop tôt = 1 tôt le matin = 1 de plus près = 1 en plein air = 1 en bonne santé = 1 Page 12 Mark Scheme GCE O LEVEL – May/June 2014 Syllabus 3015 Paper 11 Communication marks As already indicated, five marks are available in any essay question. We shall look at specific question communication points in more detail at the Coordination Meeting, but, in general, the principle to be followed is that a communication point can only be awarded to a statement containing a verb in a recognisable and acceptable tense. Therefore, in Qu 1, where a past narrative is required, “Ils partent en voiture” would not score for Communication. For past tense narrative, please accept (for Communication only) the Imperfect and Pluperfect as well as the Perfect and Past Historic. If a Future is required, please accept the Conditional as well. In the context of Communication, please accept minor spelling errors which do not affect a correct phonetic rendition – Je m’apelle (sic) = 1, Elle courais (sic) = 1. Accept –ait for –aient and vice versa. Reject et for est and ons / ont for on. Where compound tenses are used, please accept, provided it is phonetically correct, the use of auxiliary avoir in place of être plus phonetically reasonable past participles (inc the infinitive of an –er verb, but not the second person plural). Ignore past participle agreement in this context. Do not accept être when avoir should be used. For the Immediate Future, accept Je vais allé, but NOT Je vais allez / allais. The following grammatically incorrect forms would therefore qualify for a Communication mark: Ils ont arrivé à la plage. Ils ont porter le bateau.. Il as commencé à pleuvoir. The following would NOT score for Communication: Ils a parlé J’ai faire Il a donnez Il est marché Do NOT accept total omission of auxiliary or muddled tenses: Ils allés à la mer. Ils sont rentraient à la voiture. For Communication, at least 5 of the pictures must be covered. Accept any statement that conforms to the above criteria on the basis of one per picture. Any point relevant to any aspect of each picture may be rewarded, but no more than one point can be gained for each picture reference. Please note that, as stated earlier, all Communication must be achieved within 150 words; we take nothing into account after that point. © Cambridge International Examinations 2014 Page 13 Mark Scheme GCE O LEVEL – May/June 2014 Syllabus 3015 Paper 11 Instructions for Marking Question 2 In general, the instructions for marking Question 1 apply equally to Question 2. The following additional points need to be made. (a) Letter Tu is cued in the opening phrase. Penalise the use of vous twice only then ignore. Indicate with V1 and V2. Do not accept the Past Historic as the narrative tense. Penalise (by not ticking) twice only, then ignore. Indicate with T1 and T2. Start the word count after the given opening phrase. Include the closing formules in the count and reward as normal for language if they are appropriate to a maximum of 3 ticks. The lay-out for this question should theoretically preclude irrelevant preamble and stock openings. We shall discuss at the meeting any unforeseen approaches adopted by candidates. Once marking has started, please consult the PE if unsure how to deal with a particular case. (b) Dialogue Start the word count and marking after the given opening phrase. Ignore any narrative at any point in the answer and exclude from the count. Tu must be used throughout. Deal with inconsistency as in Qu 2a. Please also treat tenses as in the second para of Qu 2a. (c) Narrative. Allow either PERFECT or PAST HISTORIC as the narrative tense and do not penalise inconsistency. Start the word count and the marking after the given opening phrase. Do not accept any unwanted preamble. Communication: Award one Communication point for an acceptable reference (as defined by the “Communication” rules on p11) to each of the points set out in the rubrics. In all the questions there are 5 rubric points. As for Qu 1, all communication must be achieved within 150 words for any of the Qu 2 essays. Copying from the rubrics. Qu.1: No words are given in the pictures. Qu.2: Possibilities for using scoring units from the rubric are very limited. We will make final decisions on how to deal with this when we have scripts to hand. © Cambridge International Examinations 2014 Page 14 Mark Scheme GCE O LEVEL – May/June 2014 Syllabus 3015 CONVERSION TABLE Number of ticks: Max 60 Mark out of 20 Impression: Max 5 59–60 20 5 56–58 19 5 53–55 18 4/5 50–52 17 4 47–49 16 4 44–46 15 4 41–43 14 ¾ 38–40 13 3 35–37 12 3 32–34 11 3 29–31 10 2/3 26–28 9 2 23–25 8 2 20–22 7 2 17–19 6 1/2 14–16 5 1 11–13 4 1 8–10 3 1 5–7 2 0/1 2–4 1 0 0–1 0 0 N.B.

Each Marking Group carries one mark which can be awarded up to a maximum of 12 in each of the five sections. Therefore, in each section, 2 errors can be made without penalty. 2 Tick each correct Marking Group. There is no need to underline errors, nor to add them up. There are no tolerances; the Marking Group must be correct within the definition given in General Instructions, para 8. 3 Repeated errors of vocabulary must not be penalised. Grammatical errors must be penalised each time they occur, even when they are identical with an error already penalised. 4 If an examiner decides to accept a version not on the scheme, s/he must put a D in the left-hand margin. 5 Do not penalise: (a) consequential errors, except of tenses. (b) failure to keep sections separate. (c) faulty punctuation. (See General Instructions for Qu. 1 and Qu. 2, para 8) (d) accent errors except for –é on a past participle. ( “ “ “) (e) words added, unless they contain errors or change the sense of the original text. 6 Consequential errors: In the Prose, we should not penalise anything which appears on the Mark Scheme even if it is not consequential following an error made by the Candidate. Thus: Il monta (1) / dans la taxi (0) / qui est parti (1) qui est partie (1) La chien noire (0) / est beau (1) belle (1) 7 Allow the PERFECT or PAST HISTORIC as the narrative tense. Do not penalise inconsistency. 8 The mark awarded for each Section should be shown in the right-hand margin. 9 The sum of all the sub-totals should be shown at the end, immediately to the left of the right-hand margin.
